Digos City adalah kota yang terletak di provinsi Davao del Sur, Filipina.
Pada tahun 2010, kota ini memiliki populasi sebesar 159.569 jiwa atau 32.700 rumah tangga.
Sejarah
Digos resmi dibentuk sebagai munisipalitas di provinsi Davao pada 1 Juli 1948 melalui Executive Order No. 36, yang dikeluarkan oleh Presiden Filipina Elpidio Quirino. Sebelum dibentuk sebagai munisipalitas, Digos merupakan sebuah barrio di Santa Cruz. Munisipalitas tersebut baru diresmikan pada 19 Juli 1949.
Setelah provinsi Davao dipecah menjadi tiga, yaitu Davao Timur, Davao Utara dan Davao Selatan melalui Republic Act No. 4867 pada 8 Mei 1967, Digos menjadi bagian dari Davao Selatan dan ditetapkan sebagai ibukotanya.
Digos pada tahun-tahun berikutnya, sebelum diubah menjadi kota, dianggap sebagai ibu kota provinsi Davao Selatan, jauh sebelum menyandang status munisipalitas Kelas Satu pada tahun 1993, menjadi pusat perdagangan, perdagangan dan pendidikan, karena lokasinya yang strategis di persimpangan dua jalan raya utama di selatan.
Digos resmi berubah status menjadi kota setelah sebelumnya berstatus sebagai munisipalitas melalui Republic Act No. 8798, yang diresmikan setelah dilaksanakan plebisit pada 8 September 2000.
